Italian Grilled Cheese Sandwich

I am a member of the World Market Trendsetter Tribe! Thank you to World Market for sponsoring this Italian Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe in support of the #GourmetGetaway Sweepstakes!

Hi friends! I have a SERIOUS yum to share with you today. I mean – serious. My obsession with cheese started as a child. My mother still likes to tell stories of how she’d grab the block of cheese from the refrigerator and there would be little bites out of it. Yah, that’s right! I was a late night cheese snacker. So naturally, I love grilled cheese – oh AND Italian food. All of it. So when I was thinking of what yummy recipe I could whip up in honor of World Market’s new Gourmet Getaway Sweepstakes, I thought I would grab some of their tasty Italian Food items from their extensive Gourmet Food & Drink section to make an Italian Grilled Cheese Sandwich! And on my late night shopping trip (which was FAB by the way, did I mention, it was kids-free shopping?), here is what I snagged…

There was a panini really similar to this at my college’s cafe that I ate far too often in college — I was thinking about how amazing it was the other day. I’ll definitely have to try this recipe to cure my craving!

i just made this tonight for me and my husband. i only had a chunk of mozzarella so i cut it up as thin as i possibly could, but made thicker than your picture. it was still good though! he ate all of it, and the ciabatta bread was everything.

I found you on Pinterest and I’m so glad I did! I didn’t use Sacla sauce, I used Prego, but I got the Mezzetta peppers. I substituted the meat for Bresaola, an italian cured beef, since I don’t eat pork in my diet.
I also used the pasta sauce ON the sandwich, and marinara for the dipping sauce.

Anyhoo, it was GREAT tonight! I turned on some romantic music and everything =) Thank you for sharing!

I have added it to my “Dinner rotation” Pinterest board. I make a side dish and a main dish once a week from that board. This is a dish I will be making quite often, a staple in our home! Thanks for the great dish, Kim!

This is the BEST! I have now deiscovered bottled red peppers and pepperoncinis. This sandwicfh is beautiful but the flavor is out of this world on the crusty bread! I came across this recipe on Pinterest Thank Heaven! I will be making this often!
